Review

"Brent Weeks is so good it's starting to tick me off."―Peter V. Brett, New York Times bestselling author of The Desert Spear"Weeks manages to ring new tunes on...old bells, letting a deep background slowly reveal its secrets and presenting his characters in a realistically flawed and human way." --- Publishers Weekly"Weeks has written an epic fantasy unlike any of its contemporaries. It is a truly visionary and original work, and has set the bar high for others in its subgenre." ---graspingforthewind.com

As a voracious reader of fantasy, I've read just about every series out there. The Sword of Truth series, the Kingkiller Chronicles, the Codex Alera series, and The Stormlight Archive just to name a few. What usually bothers me is is just how straightforward the story arch can be. The good guy is miraculously good, discovers incredible powers, fights against bad guy (who is nothing but evil), and succeeds at the very last moment. Sometimes characters are intended to seem intelligent yet they succeed almost purely on luck. In some series the plot will be varied and fascinating, but the writing style will be so verbose you find yourself sloggin through pages and pages to get to the next big thing. Then the story becomes an excercise in waiting for something you know is going to happen.Brent Weeks' writing style, however, is none of that.To me the most interesting thing about Brent Weeks is not the twisting and turning of the plot. It's the careful attention he gives to the pacing. He'll cut away from a certain character, leaving you desperately wondering what happens next, but then move into something else completely fascinating and new. You'll forget for a moment how desperate you are to see the next big event. Instead the new perspective is always a perfect compliment, enhancing clarity and furthering the plot in ways that the main story arch could never provide. Even if you do get bored, it wont be for long. There's always something crucial to be seen or learned just a few pages away.If you like complex world-building that's beautifully creative and easy to understand...If you like a fast-paced storyline yet appreciate character development...If you like to see evil and good and everything in between all mixed together...If you like characters who act as intelligently or stupidly as their personality demands...If you like social commentary through a diverse cast who each believe in their own principles...If you like a plot that moves forward by more than the characters' need to not die or not let the bad guy win...If you like a story that has no clear endgame...If you like good writing that doesn't bog the story down by being overly styled or descriptive...This is the series for you.

I give it 1 star only bc I can’t give it zero stars.I bought this series after reading Weeks’ Shadow series. BIG MISTAKE. I find it hard to believe they were written by the same author. I mistakenly assumed the quality of the writing would be the same. It’s not; not by a long stretch.The Lightbringer series reads like a 10th grade student’s work. Interesting potential but poor delivery. I’ll try to avoid any spoilers but in all honesty, there aren’t many things to spoil.The writing is clumsy and unnecessarily wordy. In some instances, the grammar was incorrect. If used as a tool for character building, that would be one thing. But when used from an omniscient POV, it is unnecessary. It makes the author sound as uneducated as the character.The switching of the names of the Prism is clumsy. I imagine writing about someone who has assumed the identity of someone else would create a difficult concept to pull off but nonetheless, in these books, it is an epic fail. Perhaps King, Grisham or other fiction icons could do it but Weeks most certainly doesn’t.The concept of “Luxin” is never fully explained and it is critical to the story! Yet what it is, how it can be used, why certain people can create different kinds - all of that is either left out or explained in such a way as to further muddle its concept. Within the concept of “luxin” there are subclasses which seem to further obfuscate an already ill defined concept.The character development also lacks finess. From the first chapter, it’s apparent that the main character will eventually master the entire span of color “power” but it’s a painstakingly long and drawn out process. From the first book (The Black Prism) to the second, the main character doesn’t really seem to change. There’s nothing likeable (or with other books, purposefully unlikeable) about him. He starts as a talentless, uneducated and ignorant peasant boy; as it seems ALL fantasy characters start. Midway through the second book I finally gave up and stopped reading, something I have done on only about a dozen other books. (Especially when I’ve purchased the entire series. That was a HUGE mistake bc by the time I got to them and realized how bad they are, the return window had closed.) But by that point, Kip was *still* an ignorant, mildly talented, uneducated boy. Gavin and his brother had undergone little change as well, other then a “change of scenery” for his brother.)The notion that each year, people willingly die is just far, far, far too far fetched. All works if ficty, especially sci-fi and fantasy require the reader to take a leap of faith to be read. This leap is too far and the reader will either splat against a cliff or just fall into a ravine. While some characters will be willing to die for their beliefs, kings, whatever - it’s too much to ask for the reader to believe dozens of people knowingly allow themselves to be killed to be “set free.” It defies logic, particularly in this case when so many of the concepts lack adequate explanation.I’ll be selling the series as soon as I can. Maybe I can recoup a fraction of what I spent on them. The Shadow series is actually quite good which is why I had no reason to think this series would be so dramatically different.Initially I thought that perhaps the ”Lightbringer” series was written first; with great improvement found in the Shadow series. However that was not the case. It felt as if this series was hammered out with little forethought or editing, banking on the success of the Shadow series to incite people to buy the second series. If so, it worked and I’m out about $50One last item of note. The proofreading of this series was...I don’t know - maybe it just wasn’t done! Sentences would end mid-stream and there were a number of typographical errors. I know I’m not perfect and one could probably find a number of errors in this review. But I am not a writer so there’s little need for me to need one.Save your money and don’t bother with this series. It is perhaps one of the worst written books I’ve read in a long time. Enjoy the Shadow series but stop there!

I've restarted this review several times, each time trying to qualify my feelings toward the book and each time finding more reasons to actually like it.Overall, I came away from it feeling "meh". It was typical Brent Weeks' writing style, which I absolutely love, but there were many parts of the story that were a total slog to get through. Kip's character was pretty annoying, and I wanted Karris to be so much more. I'm giving my judgment of annoyance for the Prism's character a pass for now because I think there is a lot more depth to come in the following books.The color analogies really bothered me, too, but I guess you have to define your basis for the magical realm somewhere, so now we have Prism, Spectrum, Chromeria, the White, etc. Okay, fine.I also felt let down by Gavin Guile because it left me with more confusion over his conflicting character rather than mystery.I did like the portrayal of the Chromeria as being corrupt. The Freeing left me feeling very uneasy and almost on the side of the rebels fighting for the wights.I also really liked Liv's character because I felt like she was probably the most realistic, being from a poor background and having to face the corruption and blackmail of more powerful people.All in all, it took me a long time to come around to the idea of liking this story. There were definitely parts I couldn't put it down, but the huge chunk of the book that was the battle was a drag.I think I will read the second book now that I've had a chance to analyze how I felt about the first, but altogether I wouldn't call this my favorite - especially having read the Night Angel trilogy first which is by far one of my favorite series ever.
